2.1 vanilla bean split and scraped, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2-inch piece of ginger peeled and sliced, 5 whole cloves, 2 star anise, 24 green cardamom pods split, 1 black cardamom pod split,
5.Bring about 1 quart filtered water to a boil, then pour over spices and cover in a separate container. Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain to remove spices. Cover tea and keep chilled until used.
6.I blended in about 2 cups of this liquid in the 5-gallon. But you want to do it slowly, mix it well, and taste it.
